A New Community Member’s Reflection

My walk was perfectly timed for me. I needed the energy and love that I felt

throughout the weekend. Not only from my leaders but mostly and more

importantly my fellow pilgrims. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in but found

myself intrigued by every minute of every talk and event. My Jesus moment was

during Friday night. I was praying and sitting next to me was a young man who

literally showed his true heart and emotion which led me to console him. It was

then when I realized why I was there. To help our future generations “get to know

God”. During the weekend I formed such a bond with many people but mainly my

table mates. We had a perfect table, all different ages and backgrounds from a

twenty something to an eighty year old. We had farmers and businessmen, factory

workers to poets. All with the same purpose to find our true path to God. My

relationship with the table of Luke became a special bond which I will cherish the

rest of my life. They held me up when I was down and hopefully I did the same for

them. Spiritually, I found that my job is not done in this world. I am here to work

with Christ, spread his love, his Word and his caring for all who follow. In my

Fourth days I found myself missing the group and wondering what more can be

done. Since my Walk I have decided it was my turn to guide the youth (K-6) of our

congregation - hoping to make a difference in their lives like Emmaus did for me.

Not a day goes by since Walk #71 that I don’t think about how much more I can

do. But I know that there is and I am looking forward to seeing where my Fourth

days take me. To GOD be the Glory.

DeColores,

Kelly Reed
